Lier, lier, pants on fire...OK lets get real...we are not creating enough new jobs to cover new workers entering the labor force each month...so how does unemployment go down...the old trick...People stopped looking for work....give me a break...they are using limited phone samples and applying this to multiple millions of people who are out of work...but not looking for work...lets use some real numbers...working...not working...less retired/unable to work...the real rate is really closer to 14% and that does not factor in the underemployed and part time workers...remember figures (numbers) don't lie but liers figure...unemployment clamis are up....tells us something about the sample methods being used...Neither ADP or PayChex show any significant job growth...takes 250,000 jobs per month to reduce unemployment...we are getting less than half of that... if you have been on unemployment you may remember to be looking for work you have to make 5 applications per week or you are not considered looking for work even if you had 4 job interviews that week...probably some formula like this used in surverys to make sure we can get to the desired rate...and can you imagine who is making these calls? What are their loyalties and are they really making the calls or just fudging the numbers...who is doing the audits on the calls reported...Also, as anyone who has worked with a Poll knows, you can set the questions to get the answer you want...so my Poll is who is paying for the Gallop survey? They do surverys for money...tv ratings, etc...here is the question that should be asked, if you got a call offering you a job that fits your background or salary requirements, would you take it...yes looking for work, no not working for work...pretty simple...
